LIVESTRONG...!!!

Today I had a chat with one of my friends about various topics. Suddenly I found a new LIVE STRONG band in his wrist and i casually asked him the story behind it. To my surprise, He said it as the fashion created by star Vijay. I was shocked to hear this and some other friends there were also had the same idea. It was really a comedy to see those people justifying their words. Then after heard the reason from me, we all smiled at each other and left the place. Our college's last internal test day was thus become a memorable one.
The actual story behind it is-- was launched as a fund raising item for Lance Armstrong's, the tour de france champion for 5 successive years, Cancer foundation. Its purpose is to create awareness about cancer among people. It was introduced when Armstrong was struggling with testicular cancer by his fans to show their support to their hero. After recovering from the cancer disease he became the champion of tour de france breaking many previous records. He then started the foundation for cancer patients and used the LIVE STRONG bands to create the awareness about cancer disease.
